ASC Welcome Back BBQ + Field Day = ASC Tailgate!

After all the meticulous planning for the ASC BBQ throughout the summer and through the start of the semester - it was sad to see it go down the drain (well, not all of it) due to the ferocious "hurricane" Hannah. That hurricane was a total joke but it did leave the grounds sufficiently wet and I'm sure no one would have wanted to sit/play on wet grass.

So after very last minute planning, ASC BBQ was transformed into ASC Tailgate. Personally, I did not expect to have such a good turn out for such a last minute planned event and lack of publicity (moral of the story..? jk....) But in the end I think around 70 people showed up! A lot of familar faces and also quite a few new people as well, which was fantastic. Most of the food was gone by 5:30 and overall, I think everyone had a relatively good time, so thanks everyone for showing up! Special shoutout to everyone that came to help out :]

Some things to watch out for next year:
- Book a rain location
- Buy more drinks, cookies and chips

Right now the ASC Exec Board have started the outline of our annual Date Auction. It's our biggest fundraiser (our only one actually) for the whole academic year. Most of the proceeds will be used to hold the Winter Formal, which is going to be at the end of November. 10% of the money will raise will go to charity.

More to come on the Date Auction!
